summer makeup

Hi guys! These past few days here in Italy have been great! We have enjoyed family time and we are on a mission to learn Italian. We have to say it is a task but we are getting there, little by little. Come si dice? We are getting everything settled and unfortunately we are having a lack of wifi. To add on next week we are departing to Barcelona for a month and we cannot wait to take on this journey. We are so thankful for your support and lovely words even on these not so tech times and our crazy schedule. It means a lot! ♥

Now let’s move onto prettier things. For today’s look we went for a everyday feminine approach. We can’t get enough of these kind of styles were you look polished yet you are very comfortable and ready to take on the day. Of course we can’t forget about color, it is something we love to incorporate and it always brings life to the outfit. In this case we played with the color of the shoes and the top, making the colors the guide for the look. Layering is a must-do for us, we always find ourselves mixing and matching or layering different textures to create that style that we are going for. That’s what is so ideal about it because you can change and arrange many looks with just a few pieces. Accessories are also a great way to add color and that final touch that every style needs. Like the magenta purse and the bright bracelet; together they both add that darling pop and a fun touch. Lastly we have the Adidas boost sneakers, without a doubt they are the statement piece. Super comfy and definitely an eye catcher. We love them as they can rock the trail or the everyday runway! Beauty wise: we kept the hair straight and natural, and for the makeup we played a little bit with eyeliner and a matte pink lipstick. A fresh and youthful approach. What do you guys think?

With love,

We are back with a brand new look, showing you how to wear a sporty look while at the same time making it more fashionable and sophisticated. Let’s begin with the graphic tee, it is truly one of our favorites, we love the bold colors in the design. We paired the top with our light wash denim dress, it has become a perfect piece for spring and summer and worn with the tee on top makes it that much more unique. Also, we cannot forget that these kinds of dresses are super versatile and you can definitely wear them for day or night, by only changing a few pieces. For the shoes we chose the Nike Air Pegasus, we love the color combination and they are so comfortable, perfect for every day, don’t you think? To match with the style of the look we thought of our black BCBG bag, its shape and design are great and the gold finishes makes it more young and cool. The blue chunky necklace for a glamorous touch, the perfect accessory. Beauty wise: We created a mini top knot with loose waves for the hairstyle. For the makeup we went for a natural makeup with big lashes and an orange lipstick. What do you think?

This week has been pretty busy as we are getting all things ready to go Italy (Ciao, ciao!). We are super excited and we can’t wait to show you more, don’t forget to check out our Instagram to follow along 🙂

Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty. For today’s look we wanted to show you a young elegant style. Keeping things simple yet at the same time put together. As you may already know we are huge fans of these kinds of looks. The black dress underneath is ideal, it is super versatile (in this case we wore it as a skirt) and we loved how it turned out with the top over it. We choose the pink top as wanted to incorporate color to the outfit. The fabric is perfect for summer and we just love it’s design; so flattering. To accentuate the detail of the neckline we opted for our beaded necklace. It is a long one but we used it as a choker, the perfect touch, don’t you think? For the shoes we went with our two tone sandals. They are super cute and bring lightness to it all. We cannot forget our beloved quilted clutch, as is great and goes with everything.Beauty: For the hair we wanted something easy and breezy, so we created a loose low pony and left the front pieces down for an effortless approach. For the makeup we used natural like tones and a hot pink lipstick to match the shirt.

Thanks for stopping by! We’ll see you soon.

What is great about summer is that we can look nice and polished without having to add layers or heavy clothes to keep warm as we do during winter. It is about choosing the right pieces that will tie the look together without too much layering or accessories. We need just a perfect simple style that is going to keep us fresh and comfy during these hot days. This is what we went for with today’s look. A few rocking staples that can create an awesome outfit, and make you look a thousand bucks. Like the beautiful magenta ankle pants; they are great as they have such a lovely and flattering cut, they are very versatile as you can dress them up or down and lastly their fabric is super easy to wear and gives you that sleek touch that we always need. To match the pants we picked the sleeveless lace top, we love the soft nude color because it give the look a sweet approach and the little bow detail is just what the top needed. All the details are what make the blouse so special. As the top and bottom make the whole outfit we kept the accessories at a minimum with just a few simple rings and earrings. With the shoes we the picked the pointy silver flatforms; they complement the simplicity of the look greatly and are always a glorious touch. We are big fans of these kind of looks were you don’t need much clothes or accessories to make it fabulous. For the final touch we went for a middle part with a bit of curls and stayed with metallics and nudes for the makeup. Always incorporating that pop of color with a tinted lip for a fresh look. What do you guys think?

With love,

The weekend is here and we are happy to be enjoying these beautiful summer days. We were trying to figure out what to wear for a fun filled Saturday, and we though what’s better than to be comfortable and stylish at the same time; so this is when we thought of the overalls. There are three things we love about them: their boyfriend cut, that they are shorts, which makes them ideal for hot days. And lastly that they are denim. We wanted to incorporate print and some color to the look, so we picked our lovely v-neck floral blouse. The print goes beautifully with the denim and makes the whole look just joyous. For the shoes we went with a classic pair, the white high top converse, we absolutely love them and think they are a wardrobe staple. The little studs on the sides make them that more special and fun. Beauty wise: To keep the hair out of the face we created a high messy pony, super easy to achieve. For the makeup we stayed with natural tones and a bold red for the lips. This is L’Oreal’s Ravishing Red in number 312. What do you think? Let us know below.

Hello friends!

For this wonderful day we played a little bit with this burnt mustard crochet dress. We love the all over crochet and all the little flowy details on the sleeves and skirt. It is a great dress for day or evening; accessorized accordingly. With today’s look we wanted something chic and fun for an everyday approach. Keeping it lovely and fresh with a few stylish touches. Right away we knew we wanted something on the neckline; something that would accentuate the collar bone and the scoop neck of the dress. So we chose the lovely paisley like print scarf. We love the color combination between the two and the warm color palette it portrays is great for summer. For the rest of the accessories; we have the mini bow crossbody which goes great with the cream sandals, and the pretty bracelets. All of these little details make the look; that is the great thing about accessories, don’t you think? Especially the colorful bracelet, it adds a young feel and the bright colors are great for summer. Beauty wise, we picked warm tones for the makeup, enhancing the eyes with soft browns and golds, and a warm pinkish-red for the lips. Lastly, for the hair we created a mini French braid to the side and kept the rest of it with loose/messy waves.

XOXO,

We are starting the week with a very effortless summer look; all about comfort and simple femininity. We love denim, from shirts to trousers and even to the tiniest accessories/details. This is why we chose our beloved dark wash shirt. We love the big pockets on the front and the light brown buttons as it makes it more casual and perfect for every day (If we could, we would have a whole section in our closet dedicated to all things denim). To bear the hot Texas summer and of course to add a girly touch, we wore our floral print shorts from Forever 21. The fabric is super pretty and we love the skirt-like design. To keep things easy and relaxed we opted for our nude sandals, they are a staple for summer and they go with everything. For accessories we went with our mint half moon clutch, we love the color and the unique style. Also, we used the gold choker because we love how it looks with a collar shirt. Beauty: For the hair we decided to keep it simple and wavy. For the makeup we created a natural complexion and used a matte orange for the lips. We hope you have a great week!

It’s finally Thursday and for today we wanted to show you a more casual everyday style; perfect for summer and holidays. Of course we had to combine simple, classic pieces with some glamour to make it elegant and to describe us. Let’s begin with the army green top, it’s from Asos and we loved it from the start. We adore the style and cut since its so wearable and easy going, especially the slight high neck and the length of the sleeves. We decided to pair the top with these super comfy boyfriend shorts; we created the rips and cuts since we wanted it to be a little more rough and relaxed. We loved how it turned out, don’t you? To add to the outfit we opted for this beautiful handkerchief, the color is just amazing and we love the pop of brightness it gives. For the shoes we went with our studded nude sandals, they are the perfect pair for these warm months and the details make them that much more unique. Jewelry wise: we stayed with all gold accents; they accentuate and complete the look. To make the red tones from the handkerchief to stand out we chose our bohemian shoulder bag, the design describes today’s approach perfectly; all about comfort and style. Beauty: For the hair we created a messy pony and left the bangs down to frame the face. For the makeup we used nude tones and a warm iridescent red for the lips. What do you think?

Hellooo everybody We are starting the week with this every day nautical inspired look. Anything nautical is super classic and great for any season but especially during summer; anything from stripes, to blue, and white. Just like today’s darling top, we fell in love with it since it’s so unique. You just put it on and you are done, as it is a statement all on its self. For that every day and youthful approach we paired it with the black high waisted pants. The high waistline is great for this kind of short tops as it complements it so well. To add a lovely touch we picked out recent find from Zara, these bow moccasins. They have become without a doubt one of our favorites, super pretty! Accessories: we stayed with silver tones throughout; the chunky bracelet which incorporates a lovely touch, the dainty earrings with the sapphire ring and lastly the chain necklace. They complement the blue from the top nicely. Beauty: we went for a side part with loose waves and for the makeup a fresh foundation with bronze and shimmery tones. We love this kind of looks for summer, what makeup products are your favorites for summer?

XOXO,

Today we wanted to go for a relaxed stylish look ready for the weekend. Inspired by the rich tones from the floral top, we based our whole outfit on it. From the deep corals, to the burgundy tones we love the combination and how it turned out. The top is ideal for summer, it’s a sleeveless one and we love the high neck cut. We paired it with our fitted burgundy blazer; the style makes it formal but the fabric keeps it more casual and an every day wear. We chose our ripped shorts for the bottoms. They are a recent find and we love everything about it, from its wash to its cut and its details. Keeping with the feel of the look we opted for our beige wedges. The perfect pair of nude sandals to keep the focus on the floral shirt and the blazer. Jewelry: gold rings and little hoop earrings for a touch of delicacy. For the hair we kept it simple with the softest of curls. For the makeup we went for a flawless complexion and used the prettiest lipstick from Clinique. It’s called Grapefruit and it’s beautiful for summer, don’t you think? (plus, it matches the top perfectly) We hope you have a great Saturday! Let us know below what you think.
